Which brings us as to what is your final authority. It is not God's words. You cannot have good doctrine without accurate words no matter how you try to reconcile the
dichotomy ("
The Lord will direct your steps" -"
but textual purity is small compare to it").
"
All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
The battle IS for the words, ever since he declared "Yea, hath God said"!
